Ebay Copo?
 

Not much to go on here but was hoping you guys could take a look at this. I am supposed to go see the car tomorrow and any help would be appreciated on what to look for.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Buy it as if it's a nice clone. Don't fall in love with the nice breasts and deep blue eyes....

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

That car has sold on eBay no less than 5 times in the past year and for some reason everyone backs out on it.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

what do you know, ended early!

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The car had been for sale by a bank in the San Diego area for about 2 years. When they repossessed the car and tried to sell it they found out it was a clone. The first of this year they settled with the person that put them together with a large loan that he took out against that car using an appraisal that said it was a real COPO. The current seller bought the car from the bank and is trying to use the same appraisal that was used on the bank to sell the car. Nice looking car but allot of history for a made up car.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

B.S. car all the way! Its been through a few auctions. I like how they put the trim tag body number insted of the vin#. This is because they have been told the vin# is way to early to be a real COPO.. Looks like there hoping to find a sucker

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

If that's the car that was at Russo Steele here in Phx last January I know who built it here in Phoenix about 6 yrs ago and sold it as a clone.

It's a nice clone, pretty correctly done, builder said it ran great. Believe it sold at RS originally around the 2006 timeframe right after it was built. We looked it over at the 2011 RS auction and he confirmed it was the one he built. Here's a link to when that car sold last Jan:

HO Copo Clone

Again, I could be wrong, if anyone is serious about it the guy I know could tell you what to look for to confirm it is the car I think it is. PM me if you want to talk to him.

Dave:

I bought the car you referenced at Russo &amp; Steele in January. I don't believe the car in the ebay ad is the same car. Just another Hugger Orange clone. Ed

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Ed,

If you want the number of the guy who built it pm me. He's kind of interested in following it.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Dave:

The fellow who bought the car at the Quail in 2007 was told that it was a real COPO. He paid over $90K with commissions and taxes. They then ran it at several Russo events and it did not sell. We checked the VIN in January and it was built before Don's mule car. So, we knew it was a vey nicely built clone and paid $30K on the block for it while they were still calling it a COPO Camaro over the load speaker?

Needless to say, I think the fellow who sold the car in January was really disappointed. Ed

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

I also had a hugger orange COPO clone car. I purchased my car from a gentleman in southern California that had spend a massive amount of money having the car built. The quality of the car was top notch so I bought the car regardless of it being a clone. When I got the car here I only put about 5 miles on the car. Unfortunately I felt the car was too nice to drive and it is a pain in the ass to keep a car nice on the east coast. I brokered the car and we got $79k for the car last year. It was a beautiful car but I still think overpriced for a clone.

Here is the car as it was restored. The car was in multiple magazines, was an Auto Traders classic spotlight car and did have a stack of trophies that came with it.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Thank you all very much for the replies. Yes the auction was ended by the seller due to a deposit and agreed sale price. We will see how nice it is tomorrow. Price paid was clone money he must have just wanted to get out.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Even though it is a clone at $35k that is a whole lotta of car to have fun with.
Heck,does in it cost more to put that car together?
Enjoy it and tell people it is a clone and have fun.

Better yet, Day 2 the car and start having some real fun. Get away from the clone thing constantly hounding you everywhere you park it. Day 2 would soften the blow of it being a clone, IMO.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

I'd say that's a great deal for that. No way you could build it for $35K.

Even better, you can drive the heck out of it and not worry too much.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

That is if it sold for $35k.

Re: Ebay Copo?

Yes, that is the car that I owned.

He offered me the car for $40k and has a sound of desperation in his voice. I would say he probably let go for in the $30's. Regardless of what it is, at that price it is a deal.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Has anyone seen this car or inspected it recently?? Is there a reason it has not sold?

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Does it have the Chambered Exhaust sytem?
Sure sounds Good [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The car in the video is NOT the one for sale. The car in video is the one that I owned and was also a clone.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The Ebay car is sold.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The car is very nice. No cam though runs like a sewing machine. Pretty quick once the revs build. I would like to thank everyone for the conversation and a special thank you to Mark Sheppard for your history lesson on this particular Copo Replica. Someone put a lot of time into the fit and finish.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Congrats on the sale.
Seeing as no one has yet,can you post the full VIN# here for posterity please?

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Man . . . . that sumbitch does sound good in the video and looks like a fun car!

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

The car in the video was my car - not the one that just sold to the OP from eBay.

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Whoops! Sorry . . . . but still sounds great!

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

VIN is 124379N554870 I bought it and will not misrepresent it in the future.. By the way, it is sweet and has chambered exhaust. My neighbors already do not like me so there is nothing to lose..

Re: Ebay Copo?
 

Scott let me the first to welcome you to the best website for supercars around. Get that car home and drive the heck out of it and enjoy it. Most car transactions should not take this much effort but it will be worth it in the end.
